Fear is directly related to my selfishness, to my self-centeredness. When I'm in love, there's no fear. When I love you, there's no fear. When I don't have any fear of you living me or hurting me, there's no fear. When there's true love, there's no fear.
What happens when fear rules your life? For Oliver, it meant living in constant anxiety and uncertainty. In episode #85 of the 'Big Book Awakening' podcast, Oliver opens up about his struggle with fear and how it shaped his existence. He describes a life driven by anxiety, not even knowing what he was afraid of until he found Alcoholics Anonymous. The Twelve Steps program became his lifeline, guiding him through a process of self-discovery and spiritual awakening.
Oliver's story is a raw look at how fear and selfishness are intertwined. He explains how his need for control and acceptance masked deeper insecurities. Through the Twelve Steps, he learned to face his fears head-on and surrender to a higher power. This journey wasn't easy, but it was transformative. Oliver's candid reflections offer hope to anyone grappling with similar struggles. The episode doesn't stop with Oliver's story.
It also features heartfelt accounts from others who have faced their fears and found solace through faith and self-reflection. These stories highlight the profound impact of the Twelve Steps program and the importance of community support in recovery. If you're looking for an honest, inspiring discussion on overcoming fear and embracing faith, this episode is a must-listen. It's a testament to the power of vulnerability and the healing that comes from surrendering to something greater than oneself.
